The thing that made people criticize Zhang Xin the most was his birth, and this was also his sore spot. Normally, when others were together with him, they would avoid this topic as much as possible, but Wu Mei was straightforward and did not have any face at all. Zhang Xin's face flushed red. If there was a crack in the wall in the hall, he would have crawled in without hesitation.
Ignoring the embarrassed Zhang Xin, Wu Mei surveyed the people around him, and said in a deep voice, "The King is currently blood-soaked in battle, yet not only are you important subjects not helping him, you are also here to drag him down. What exactly is the intention of the warriors in front of me? Could it be that all of you received the money from Chuan Country And Zhen Country and were bought by the enemy nation? "
In a situation where there was no solid evidence, only Wu Mei dared to speak these words. All the ministers present had ugly expressions, especially the ones who proposed to move to the capital to seek refuge, they all knelt down and spoke out: "Madam, this subject is extremely loyal to the King and the winds, I have no other intentions and have never accepted anyone's money, please look it over!"
"Humph!" I don't think you would dare. " Wu Mei muttered, following that, her expression became colder and colder, she took out the treasure sword on the table, pointed it at the group and said: "In the future, anyone who dares to speak lightly and move to the capital, I will definitely execute them!" After saying that, in order to show his determination, Wu Mei fiercely swung the sword in her hand downwards. Kacha! A piece of the table was forcibly cut out from the corner.
Although Shangguan Yuanji was the Right Prime Minister, he did not have any authority over life and death. On the other hand, Wu Mei was the wife of a country, and theoretically speaking, she did not have the authority to execute a court official, but if she really did that, no one would dare to concern themselves with her.
Seeing that the ministers who supported him before were so scared that they lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound, Zhang Xin took a deep breath and emboldened himself by saying: "Madam, the Chastity Army is approaching in full fury, and the capital does not have any troops to fight. If we do not move the capital, once the Chastity Army arrives, the capital ? I'm afraid we have to follow the footsteps of our Cong City and Fang City! "
"Who says that there are no enemies?" Wu Mei stared at Zhang Xin and questioned him loudly.
Hearing her words, Zhang Xin was stunned, were there still troops on their side? Where is it? The military camp around the Yan City had long since become empty!
Wu Mei glared at him, then looked at the other ministers and asked: "Why did everyone forget about Tong Gate? If I remember correctly, there is still a great army of two hundred thousand stationed at Tong Gate. As long as we redeploy these two hundred thousand soldiers before the Chastity Army arrives, wouldn't that solve the problem of Yan City? "
Just one sentence was enough to remind the dreamers that the ministers had all forgotten about the army that was hoarded in the Tong Gate.
Back then, Tang Yin had set a rule that no matter who it was that was hoarded within the Tong Gate, no one was allowed to move them without his permission. Even when the battle between the Feng Army and them was so intense, Tang Yin didn't dare to draw out even a single person from the Tong Gate.
After learning about it for a long time, the people had also taken the matter of the Tong Gate stationed in the large army for granted. Right now, when Zhen Jun was closing in on the Yan City, everyone could only see the emptiness within it, but no one thought about the Tong Gate nor the army. The eyes of the crowd lit up at first, but then they started to shake their heads.
Zhang Xin said softly: "Madam is right, my army does still have two hundred thousand soldiers in the Tong Gate, but we can't get enough water to satisfy our thirst. From the Tong Gate to the Yan City, for two hundred thousand soldiers, even if they marched day and night, it would still take more than ten days, but for the Chastity Army to reach the Yan City, it would only need a few days. Furthermore, the King once had a rule that no one has the right to deploy their Tong Gate and guard their troops.
Wu Mei said: "Regarding the transfer of troops, I will take care of it. As for the Zhen Jun'er Army, I plan to dispatch some of my troops from the capital to the Wan City. I will use the Wan City as the main battlefield to delay the enemy troops!" This was Lei Zhen's strategy, but Wu Mei had modified it and turned Lei Zhen's empty stratagem into an army with backup.
Zhang Xin asked: "I wonder which general does Madam wish to send?"
Wu Mei giggled and said: "There are no longer any generals in the capital. Since Master Zhang has said that he will be the ruler and the ruler, then it would be better for Master Zhang to lead the troops and go to the Wan City!"
Hearing this, Zhang Xin almost fainted. He was a civil servant, not a military general. Letting him play tricks on others was fine, but letting him lead soldiers to war was the same as pushing him towards the fire kang. Zhang Xin was startled for a moment, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "Madam, even if this humble subject does not know the military strategy, I do not know the strategy. "This humble subject is not afraid of death. I am just worried that my command will go awry and ruin a major event ?"
Humph! Wu Mei sneered in her heart, even if you want to lead the troops, I will not agree to it! Her expression straightened as she said with a heavy tone: "This time, I will personally head to the Wan City to guard the city with the soldiers. I vow to live and die with the Wan City!"
No one expected Wu Mei to personally lead the troops to guard the Wan City, everyone was startled for a moment, then anxiously said: "Madam, please do not! The enemy is vicious, the Wan City situation is tense, if Madame ? " If the Madam had some mishap in the Wan City, how would the ministers of their own side explain this to the King? However, no one dared to say the second part.
Wu Mei said: "Only by going to Wan City myself will the soldiers have the confidence to defend the Wan City, their morale will rise, if not, I am afraid that the Wan City will not be able to hold the enemy back for long."
"But ?"
"No need for that!" I have made up my mind. We will set off tomorrow! " After she finished speaking, Wu Mei shook her sleeves and said: "Sir, if there is nothing else to discuss, please disperse!"
All of the officials looked at each other, grinning and shaking their heads, not knowing how to advise Wu Mei otherwise.
At this time, one of the generals from the left walked out and bowed. He said with a deep voice, "This general is willing to go with Madam and defend against the Chastity Army!" The person who stood out to speak was none other than Lei Zhen. In terms of current Yan City, he was the only one that could truly be considered a great general. At this moment, the reason he was able to stand out was mostly because of Wu Mei's boldness.
It was hard to imagine that such a beautiful, charming and noble wife, Wu Mei, would be able to personally go to the Wan City in such a dangerous situation. This was much better than most of the civil and military generals in the imperial court.
Lei Zhen volunteered herself. Wu Mei was very pleased, but with Lei Zhen here, she had a lot more confidence. She nodded as a smile finally appeared on her face. With a smile, she said, "I will need to rely more on General Lei to guard the Wan City!"
As the saying goes, a smile of a hundred flowers is too late. Wu Mei laughed, causing all the ministers present to stare blankly, including Lei Zhen. After a long while, Lei Zhen secretly sighed in his heart.
That day, Wu Mei had personally written an urgent letter for Shen Zhichen. In the letter, Wu Mei explained the current situation in the capital and ordered him to immediately command the Tong Gate Army to return and rescue the capital. After finishing the urgent book, seal the wax skin and send a message to Tong Gate through the carrier pigeon.
On the second day, early in the morning, Wu Mei changed into a valiant and formidable military attire and led over forty thousand new recruits from the Yan City in a grandiose manner towards the Wan City. There were also Zong Yuan and the generals led by his side, but most of them were not very famous, even Lei Zhen was the same.
Just as Wu Mei had predicted, when she followed the army to Wan City, all the new recruits were full of confidence. To the people, since the Madam had personally gone, then the Wan City should be absolutely safe, but in reality, Wu Mei was not even ten percent sure if she would be able to withstand the attacks of the Chastity Army.
Wu Mei had fought many battles, but when she went out to battle, she had never been so worried like this.2
The Wan City was located in the southern part of the Yan City and the two cities were extremely close, only thirty to forty kilometers of distance away.
Mayor had long since heard the news of Madame Le Ping's arrival and brought the entire city's officials out of the city to welcome her.
He thought that since his wife had arrived, the army sent by the capital would at least be over a hundred thousand. But after he saw that, he was greatly disappointed.
From Lu Mo's expression, Wu Mei could see that he was uneasy. She asked, "Master Lu?"
"This humble subject is here!"
"How many people are currently participating in Wan City?"
Lumer swallowed his saliva, bowed his head and replied, "Only ? "Two thousand cavalrymen, three thousand infantry."
Wu Mei nodded her head, although there were only five thousand people in the Wan City, their fighting strength was not much weaker than the forty thousand people she brought with him. As the Acropolis City's Acropolis City, the soldiers of Wan City were all elite soldiers. To resist the Chastity Army and defend the Wan City, these five thousand people still had to be the main force!
Lu Mo opened his mouth, revealing a hesitant look.
Seeing that, Zong Yuan laughed and asked: Master Lu still has something to say?
"This ?" Lu Mo laughed dryly and asked, "I don't know ?" Is there another army that has not come with Madam? "
Where was the army? Wu Mei sighed to herself. She had brought all the troops she could bring with him, the only thing she almost brought were the guards from the Duke Palace along.
Just as she was about to shake his head, Zong Yuan took the initiative and said: "That's right! "Our army of one hundred thousand has yet to arrive. This army of one hundred thousand will only appear when the Chastity Army attacks the city. We will catch them unawares and kill them when they are unprepared!"
No wonder the Madam came to Wan City. So it turns out that our side still has a hundred thousand strong Elite Armaments lying in ambush nearby the Wan City, this is simply too great. Not only can we guarantee that our Wan City will be foolproof, we can even defeat the enemy! At this thought, Lumer grinned and let out a long sigh of relief. His tense nerves which had been tensed up for the past few days were finally able to relax.
"So ? This official is relieved. "
It was at this time that Wu Mei finally understood why Zong Yuan had said that. He was speaking in An Lumo's heart, and Lu Mo's role as the Mayor was extremely important.
